It means EViews thinks you typed the command incorrectly.

[coelhoindy]

but I have typed many different times, and it does not look like iam typing wrongly.

Apparently it looks wrong to EViews...

You might copy and paste the line you are typing here, and perhaps even post your workfile. No one can guess what you've typed.

Is AD a numeric series or an alpha series?
(By the way, it's better to post your EViews file for people to look at.)
